Tribunal's reasoning

The case was listed for an open preliminary hearing on 20 April 2023 before Employment Judge Varnam in Nottingham. Neither party attended. The judge noted that the respondent was in liquidation and that the joint liquidator had said he did not intend to incur costs dealing with the claim, but there was no explanation for the claimant's absence. After checking the file and making telephone contact attempts, the tribunal proceeded under rule 47 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.

How we got this data

Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
